This is a blog for the unfocused, the round pegs in the square holes, the short-attention span types, and all those who just can't bring themselves to join the ranks and adhere to a single category of activities or interests...whether sketches, drawings and comics, fixing an old farmhouse in Oregon, or whatever else strikes my fancy.

Portland Bridal Show (01-16-11)

I went to the Portland Bridal Show at the Convention Center, and was fascinated by the bridal fashion show. Although I favor vintage styles, the dresses were gorgeous. It was a fun challenge to draw as fast as I could, and to get the essence of these dresses in just a few strokes...

About This Blog

Welcome to my Blog Central, a compendium of entries made in some of the blogs I kept over the last several years.

In this blog, in addition to my sketches and drawings, I may also post stories about some of our attempts at fixing an old farmhouse in Oak Grove, Oregon, as well as posts about various other items of interest.

In short, this is a blog for the eclectic, the unfocused, the round pegs in the square holes, the short-attention span types, and all those who just can't bring themselves to join the ranks and adhere to a single category of activities or interests...

More about me

The artist, Pascale, also known as Maxine...

Doing It All

Art is a capricious master. As an artist, I am curious about the world and the times I live in.

I've long struggled with my many interests, and rather than focus on one thing, choose to indulge my passions as unequally and unfairly as possible, to be in turn an observer, an artist, a writer, and to enjoy myself as fully as possible while doing so.

Who knows, you may run into me at a public or cultural event or another... I'm a visual raconteur, the one you'll see sketching in the shadows, in the background...
